OWNER’S MANUAL
The use of a Fill Filter is recommended, especially in areas with high
mineral content in the water.
6. Turn the power on.
7. Allow the spa to circulate on high-speed (see SPA CONTROL
OPERATION) for four to five minutes to discharge air from the
plumbing system. Do not expect hot water immediately from the jets;
the heater will take several hours to heat the water.
8. Your spa is now in “pump priming” mode and a “Pr” message displays
in the LCD window of the control panel. While in this mode the spa
appears idle, which lasts approximately four to five minutes if not exited
manually. To exit manually, press the TEMP pad.
9. At this time, the spa should have water flowing from the jets. If the
pump has not primed and the water is not flowing from the jets after
two minutes, TURN OFF POWER TO THE SPA and vent air from the
pumps by slightly opening the pump unions. After turning the power on
again, the spa initiates a new priming mode. Repeat steps above.
10. The system requires approximately two minutes of water flow to
determine the water temperature. After two minutes of water flow, the
temperature is displayed as actual water temperature. After you have
manually exited the priming mode (or allowed the spa to automatically
exit), the LCD window momentarily displays 37°C and then the display
switches to - - °C.
11. The factory default setting for water temperature is 37°C. Use the
TEMP pad on the control panel to set the water temperature to the
desired level. (See SPA CONTROL OPERATION.) Your spa heats at
the rate of approximately 3°C per hour.
SPA COVER
When the spa is not in use, the cover should be kept on the spa to retain the
water’s heat and to keep out dirt, leaves, etc.
For your safety and convenience, the cover is equipped with adjustable straps,
safety locks, and handles. Use the exterior handles to remove and replace your
cover. Never attempt to open or remove the cover by grasping or pulling on the
cover skirting or cover lock straps as the skirting will tear.
Marquis suggests you use the safety locks to help keep out unintended users
and prevent covers from being blown off in windy conditions. The cover and
retractable cover system are not recommended for use in wind conditions
reaching above 40 km/h. If your spa is located in an area susceptible to high
winds, additional cover lock straps may be necessary to minimize cover
damage.
Open the spa cover:
1. Unfasten all cover lock straps.
2. Place one hand under the cover skirting, between the spa and cover,
to break the cover’s vacuum seal. Do not use cover handles to break
vacuum seal.
3. Fold the front half of the cover over onto the back half.
NOTE: Unlock and release all cover locks before attempting to open cover.
Damage caused by attempting to open the cover while locked or by wind is not
covered under warranty. Do not walk, stand, climb, or sit on the vinyl cover or
retractable cover system. Do not use hard, sharp, or metal objects, such as a
windshield scraper, to remove ice. Such objects can cut, mar, or puncture the
cover’s vinyl surface.
Close the spa cover:
1. Place one hand on the upper corner of the cover and gently push
forward in the direction of the spa. The cover will rotate forward to
cover half of the spa.
2. Unfold the cover by lifting the handle located on the top (front) half of
the cover. Allow the unfolded half to fall down onto the spa.
3. Secure the cover lock straps to the spa and lock them.
NOTE: When opening a cover with a cover removal mechanism, use one of the
manufacturer’s recommended methods. Do not attempt to open the cover in any
other way. Damage caused by improper opening or closing of the cover is not
covered under the warranty.
Fading, staining, torn stitching of the spa cover and broken foam cores are not
covered under the warranty if caused by improper use or maintenance. Spa
covers do not qualify for labor coverage under the warranty. These parts can be
purchased or exchanged under warranty at your authorized Marquis Spas®
dealer.

PUMP PRIMING (Pr)
Pump priming feature begins at start-up. When your spa is energized, the LCD
window displays a “Pr” message. This mode lasts approximately four to five
minutes, if not exited manually by pressing the TEMP pad.
UNDERWATER AND ENTRYWAY LIGHTS
Press the LIGHT pad on bather’s panel or remote control (option) to turn the
underwater and Entryway lights on and off. The low-voltage system produces a
night light for evening use and makes entering and exiting the spa safer. After
being on for 60 minutes, the lights automatically turn off.
AQUA AMBIANCE™ /CONSTELLATION™
Use LIGHT pad. Step one: turn on light. Step two: turn off and then on within 2-3
seconds. Repeat for all options.
NOTE: LED lights and non-LED lights do not qualify for labor coverage. These
parts can be purchased or exchanged under warranty at your authorized
Marquis Spas® dealer.
WATERFALL FEATURE
The Waterfall feature and Convenience Center attaches securely to the dual
Vortex skimmer tops. NOTE: Don’t remove the waterfall top while the pumps are
running.
JETS
Use the JETS pad on the bather panel or remote control. First press of the JETS
pad activates pump on low-speed (and starts soak timer). Second press of the
JETS pad activates pump on high-speed. Third press of the JETS pad turns jets
off for all-quiet mode. Fourth press of the JETS pad turns pump back to low-
speed. If the pump is already on low (heating, filter cycle) then the first press
starts the soak timer. After running on low- or high-speed for 15 minutes, the
pump automatically turns off (unless in heating or filtering cycle).
SOAK TIMER
The soak timer starts the first time you press a JETS pad. The LCD window
displays the elapsed time (1-30 minutes) for 55 seconds, then switches to the
current water temperature for five seconds, then back to the timer. It continues
to alternate for the entire 30 minutes. The timer runs for 30 minutes regardless
of other functions in use (jets, temperature, or light). You can manually cancel
the timer by pressing the TEMP+- pad and then the LIGHT pad.
REMOTE CONTROL (OPTION)
NOTE: During times of inactivity, wireless remotes should always be stored in
the cup holder on the lip of the spa or removed from the spa. By storing the
wireless remote out of water, it will be less susceptible to water intrusion, a
situation that can occur after extended water exposure. More often, water
intrusion occurs when spa owners attempt to replace the batteries in their
remote and then do not properly reseal the remote. Battery replacement should
only be performed by spa care professionals. Batteries and water intrusion into
remote controls is not covered under the warranty. Remote controls do not
